The anger was too thick. Before this, I had never felt such a tangible touch.
Every breath feels nourishing to the body.
In an instant, it feels even more indestructible!
But, I am aware that it's just an illusion!
They plucked the down and extracted the pearl, made a dummy corpse, a mere cat replacing the Crown Prince!
The anger comes from the overflowing qi of the pearl, and from those bloods!
Without the body itself, it's a massive and rapid consumption. It won't take long for this place to lose its balance!
I had been prepared, and between these thoughts, I had already begun administering the pills to Jin Lun and others.
Although Jin Lun and others are thin, the final injection of vitality raises their heads high.
Especially when the white silk line broke open, they all swayed, as if they were going to awaken.
After taking the pills, without exception, they seemed to have just barely regained their senses.
Jin Lun recovered the fastest, trembling and calling out, "Appearance Little Friend?"
His eyes were filled with disbelief.
They seemed to be unaware of what had happened before, with no perception of it.
"What little friend old friend, talking about old times, let's go out alive first, hurry up and walk!" shouted Lao Gong on my shoulder.
The pill administration did not take long. All the Taoist monks with hats had already crawled into the hole, and the water inside had sunk so much that it was no longer visible.
"Don't resist once you get in, try to avoid the things above when you hit the bottom, father, retreat!"
Lao Gong shouted another time, he instantly disappeared into my body, took control of it and jumped into the hole. His back pressed against the wall of the hole, and the feeling of weightlessness surged immediately!
This sensation is like falling into an infinite abyss!
However, there is a slight difference. An infinite abyss has nothing around it, at least there is a little bit of a hole to lean on in the back...
It was initially a vertical fall, and then became a slide. The hole was not completely straight, but had some twists and turns.
The speed at which the water is sinking is fast! At least I haven't encountered the water flow yet.
Lao Gong controls my body, keeping it stable without any movement. If it were me, I would definitely have a natural instinct to hold onto the wall and stop the descent...
The howling sound is constantly in my ears, and there is a faint moaning coming from below.
This kind of falling puts too much pressure on a person's mental resilience...
Even if the group of Taoist monks with hats themselves proposed it, they might not be able to withstand it...
I can still faintly hear some moans and screams from above, and they appear instantly and disappear without a trace. The sound is upwardly transmitted.
"Having a hat on alive hasn't played such a dangerous game before!" an abrupt voice of Lao Gong's shriek suddenly came out of my mouth, as if he was still somewhat excited.
For me, it's only endless falling, the loss of heartbeat, and a feeling of oppression and depression...
I don't know how long it has been, suddenly, I feel my body falling into a ball of solid, gooey substance!
No, it's water!
It's just that the impact force is so great that I feel as if they are solid.
The legs moved quickly, and the body swam away to the distance...
It's not that I'm moving, it's Lao Gong controlling my body. My own reaction is far from so fast.
A splash, and I broke the surface of the water.
Lao Gong released his control over my upper body, and I gasped for breath in large mouthfuls!
Heavens, it's dark, everything around is extra quiet. The moonlight shines directly down, allowing me to see the environment around me clearly.
This is a river, flowing out of a four-meter-wide hole at the foot of the mountain.
The river's surface is at the same level as the hole, and that hole looks like a water pipe.
But I did not come out directly from that hole.
The hole is a hidden stream within the mountain.
There must be a hole above this hidden stream that directly leads to the tomb above, because the qi draws the water to flow upwards, forming something like a well.
I first entered the hidden stream and then swam out of it...
In the next instant, bubbles rose from the river water and a monk suddenly shot out of the water surface. He looked extremely thin, but his eyes were bright!
Not Jin Lun! Just a martial monk!
"It's true, they picked it up. They absorbed the qi for several months and still survived... And then they took in even more qi at the end... Wealth and fortune come from danger..." Lao Gong muttered to me on my shoulder, looking very envious.
The sounds of gurgling bubbles kept coming one after another, with one monk after another peeking their heads out of the water, but Jin Lun had not yet appeared.
All the monks had nothing but staring fixedly at the water hole, their joy gone completely, replaced by concern.
It's evident at a glance that Jin Lun was the last to go...
I also feel worried and uneasy in my heart.
"Don't worry, father. The mountain hasn't collapsed yet. It must be said that those Taoist monks have some skills. This trick is beyond my imagination. Otherwise, I would have also sent a monk to do the trickery of replacing the Crown Prince. We could also come up with a feather-turned-bone corpse that's a guaranteed win. Once Jin Lun comes out, we have plenty of time to escape."
"The mountain is about to collapse, the corpse-turning-pearl will be shattered, and it will take some time for this remnant dragon to digest that kind of pill."
"Hey... Where are those Taoist monks? They didn't even wait for us to come out and say hi? This can be considered as turning enemies into friends after a fight, I guess."
Lao Gong was saying that.
Suddenly, a huge crash echoes in my ears, and the river violently shakes!
My eyes can see that the mountain above, the main vein of General Mountain, seems to have a crack formed in the turmoil!
All the martial monks in the water are frightened without exception.
I also felt a huge pressure, making me reminiscent of the scene at Niu Xin Village!
However, the turmoil here is far stronger than before, by far too much!
"The mountain... is about to collapse?"
"Impossible... Absolutely impossible. The remnant dragon wouldn't consume that fast, unless..."
A gray-purple ghostly aura suddenly surged around Lao Gong's body, and he screeched: "Fuck their eighteenth ancestor, they want to take it all! They don't want the corpse-turning-pearl to be consumed. If it's not dead, he's absorbing the qi! He wants to break the layout!"
My face changed abruptly, and I instantly understood what Lao Gong meant!
originally, if the corpse-turning-pearl was swallowed by those Taoist monks, they should have been consumed along with it. If the pearl was regurgitated before it was completely consumed or thrown away somewhere else, it would break the layout!
He will die instantly, and the mountain will also lose its vitality support immediately!
The mountain really is about to collapse!
That's why all those Taoist monks with hats disappeared without a trace. They had already run away as soon as they came out!
"Run!" Lao Gong's voice was as loud as thunder.
But the martial monks were all still in the water, motionless.
Fear, but they didn't want to run.
"A bunch of dead bald monks, have they gone mad? Jin Lun, the old bald monk, can come out is fate, can't come out is fate too. You died, he will lose more!" Lao Gong roared and I quickly swam towards the shore!
The martial monks were still in the water, still staring at the hole, unmoved...
The roar continued without end, the mountain was still cracking, and it seemed like it was about to collapse!
"I can't do it... Father, you go first! Fortune comes from danger, I'm fine, I'm fine... I'm a ghost, what's the big deal about mountain collapse?!" Just as I finished speaking, Lao Gong suddenly jumped out of my shoulder and dashed towards the water hole!
At the same time, there was a soft splash, and Jin Lun emerged from the water!
The martial monks were overjoyed, and some quickly rushed forward, pulling Jin Lun out of the water and swimming towards the shore. Others quickly explained the situation in front of them.
My face turned pale, Lao Gong had disappeared!
